A request from jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial sparked debate in the 
courtroom over a drone video already played during testimony.
----------------Jim Bell's comment:
Cypherpunks should advocate that whenever  such evidence is collected, it must 
be published immediately (hours?) albeit perhaps encrypted and concealed as to 
exact location.  
Say, the first day, the public notation will show a circle inside of which the 
data was taken would be 2000 miles in diameter, the second day 1000 miles 
diameter, more precise each day.  Like Craigslist does when locating a seller.  
Eventually, a few weeks later, the location will be identified to within 2 
meters.
So, those collecting that evidence won't have an option to 'lose' or 'omit' or 
alter that evidence.  Everyone who wants a copy can have it, although initially 
encrypted.  The cops/FBI won't be able to tamper with this evidence after its 
immediate publication, without such fraud being detected later on when the full 
encryption keys must be revealed to the publicly.
Don't bother arguing that 'cops' shouldn't be able to collect such evidence.  
Outdoors, on public property, is generally considered free for anyone to 
record, including ordinary citizens.
I contend that the real danger is that law enforcement will be able to express 
bias by selectively disclosing (or concealing) such evidence, including 
manipulating it later to conceal or misrepresent 'facts'.
